Recently, Gartner® released "Emerging Tech: Thriving Amid the Triple Squeeze—Critical Insights on VC Funding for Cloud Security" (Emerging Tech: Thriving Amid the Triple Squeeze—Critical Insights on VC Funding for Cloud Security) (hereinafter referred to as the "report") "). The report made an in-depth analysis of the current global cloud security investment and technology development. Tencent Cloud was rated by Gartner as a global case vendor of cloud-native application protection platform.
The "Report" pointed out that "in view of macroeconomic uncertainty and the 'triple squeeze' from economic, talent and supply chain challenges, venture capital (VC) in the field of cloud security will drop by 63.7% in 2022, and product leaders It is imperative to identify opportunities in the cloud security market that venture capital is focusing on and set realistic expectations.” The report also mentions: “ Despite a cautious market sentiment, venture capital institutions are very enthusiastic about cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) and related cloud security Products are still showing strong interest, with $1.23 billion invested in this space alone in 2022, accounting for 45.3% of overall cloud security venture capital. This highlights the growing importance of these areas, as well as their significant growth and innovation continuing potential.”
As a global case manufacturer selected in this "Report", Tencent Cloud has been committed to reconstructing the security defense system on the cloud with the idea of "integration", and launched a CWPP+CSPM platform that can be managed uniformly across clouds - Tencent Cloud CNAPP , through deep integration CWPP, CSPM and other product functions, Tencent Cloud CNAPP can provide enterprises with full lifecycle security protection of cloud native applications, realize one-stop visible, one-click preventable and efficient protection, and help enterprises to "simplify complex operations" in security operations.
Tencent Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) integrates cloud-native security protection capabilities including host security and container security, and builds a complete host/container protection system of "prevention-defense-detection-response". At present, Tencent CWPP has unique product advantages through three-dimensional defense in the three protection dimensions of front-end confrontation, threat intelligence and big data analysis.
In terms of vulnerability defense, Tencent Cloud Host Security uses the self-developed Taishi engine to provide vulnerability scanning, vulnerability investigation, vulnerability repair, and vulnerability defense to minimize the possible impact of vulnerability risks on business. Innovatively proposed RASP+ technology, supports native 0day vulnerability immunity, one-click activation, and accurately intercepts more than 99% of host/container hotspot attacks and exploits. In terms of containers, Tencent Cloud Container Security supports three key stages of security protection: construction, deployment, and operation, to ensure the security of the entire life cycle of containers.
Tencent Cloud Security Center (CSPM) is the original unified cloud security operation platform of Tencent Cloud. It fully breaks through the three security defense lines of cloud firewall, cloud WAF, and cloud host security. It can provide enterprises with one-click physical examination functions, including deployment-free vulnerability scanning, CSPM cloud security configuration inspection, web page sensitive content discovery, risk service exposure detection, etc.; can provide one-stop risk sorting and discovery, link three lines of defense to deal with alarms with one key, and greatly improve the efficiency of security operation and maintenance.
In recent years, Tencent has been recognized by Gartner many times. In 2020 and 2021, Tencent will be listed as one of the representative vendors in the "Market Guide for Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP)" released by Gartner.
CANPP is constantly evolving into the future network security direction favored by top VCs. In the future, Tencent Cloud will continue to develop and innovate, and with more comprehensive functional coverage and more integrated platform capabilities, it will help enterprises to "simplify" and realize security operations. Safe left.
